A note from Ray:

I would like to express my sincere thanks to those of you who have supported
my music over the many years that I have been recording. Music has been a wonderful
part of my life and it has been you the fans who have made that wonderful life
possible.

May God bless you all,
Ray Conniff

Additional notes about this album:

The new album was recorded in stages: Together with Perry La Marca the maestro
produced tracks with a combination of synthesizers, brushes on the snare drum
played by Jerry White and many guitar overdubs played by Jim Lum who also works
on Perry's projects. Then these tracks were taken to the "Private Island Trax"
studio in Hollywood, and brass and saxes (3 sessions) and then singers (3 sessions)
were recorded and mixed.

Although Ray previously recorded most of the tracks for various albums, fans
may expect slightly different arrangements and a more contemporary "radio-ready"
sound on these new recordings. "Nossa Senhora" is the only track not previously
recorded by Ray.
